Rock bands Jane’s Addiction and Love And Rockets will co-headline a limited summer U.S. tour, which will include a stop at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving on Sunday, August 18.

The tour will kick off in Las Vegas on August 9, traveling to 25 cities through September 9. In addition to Irving, the tour will make one other Texas stop in Houston on August 19.

The tour will feature the full classic Jane's Addiction lineup of singer Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins, and bassist Eric Avery for the first time since 2010.

Nearing their 40th anniversary, Jane's Addiction has a loyal following despite the fact that they've only released four studio albums in their career, most recently 2011's The Great Escape Artist. Among their legacies is the creation of the long-running Lollapalooza festival, which was originally supposed to be Jane's Addiction farewell tour in 1991.

The English band Love And Rockets had their heyday in the 1980s and '90s, releasing seven albums over 13 years, most recently Lift in 1998. Among the many artists who claim the band as influential on their sound is Jane's Addiction.

Although they haven't released new music in 26 years, they reissued the five albums they put out with the record label Beggars Banquet in December 2023, starting with a vinyl box set and then individually in 2024, along with a previously unreleased compilation/companion CD to 1996's Sweet F.A., titled My Dark Twin.

Tickets for the tour will be available starting with artist presales on Tuesday, May 28. Additional presales will run throughout the week with the general on-sale beginning on Friday, May 31 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.

Miranda Lambert to perform at halftime for Cowboys' Thanksgiving game

Miranda Lambert will be the halftime performer for the Dallas Cowboys' 2026 Thanksgiving Day game.

Country music superstar and Texas native Miranda Lambert will be the halftime performer at the Dallas Cowboys' annual Thanksgiving Day game in 2026, according to a release from the NFL.

The Cowboys will play against the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on November 26, scheduled to start at 3:30 pm.

This will be the 30th consecutive Salvation Army Red Kettle Kickoff halftime show, dating back to Reba McEntire's performance at the inaugural show in 1997. Other performers over the years have included Destiny’s Child, Carrie Underwood, the Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez, Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson, and Post Malone.

Charlotte Jones, chief brand officer and co-owner of the Cowboys, says she came up with the idea as a way to help launch The Salvation Army’s annual Red Kettle Campaign, which has existed since 1890.

“The Red Kettle Kickoff has become one of the Dallas Cowboys’ proudest traditions and one my family and our entire organization look forward to every Thanksgiving,” Jones says in the release. “For 30 years, incredible artists have appeared on our halftime stage to help The Salvation Army bring hope to millions of people in need. We’re grateful to Miranda Lambert for joining that legacy and helping us continue this meaningful tradition.”

Lambert has made local news repeatedly of late. She held her Crisco album release party at Billy Bob's Texas Billy Bob's Texas earlier in October. Her "Velvet Rodeo" residency wardrobe will be showcased beginning next month at the new Icons Gallery at the National Cowgirl Museum in Fort Worth.

“There’s something special about how music brings people together, especially when it’s to spread joy and hope to families who need it most,” Lambert said in a statement. “The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys have built an incredible tradition with the Red Kettle Kickoff, and I can’t wait to be back home in Texas this Thanksgiving to help carry it forward.”

Every donation to The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign stays in the community in which it’s given to provide help and hope for those in need. To learn more, go to SalvationArmyUSA.org.
